Robust Linear Regression/Evidence
Method evidence record

Robust Linear Regression

Robust linear regression fits a linear model between predictors and a continuous outcome while down-weighting or discarding influential outliers, preventing the few anomalous observations that OLS is famously sensitive to from distorting the entire estimated line. Major variants include Huber regression, iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS), RANSAC, and Theil-Sen estimation.
